    I’m surprised that the old motors had enough power to keep the skiers from pulling the motors up out of the water.

    I suppose some wild skier antics MIGHT be able to do that, but not likely. Yes he sometimes can make the propeller cavitate by pulling at a sideways angle. The motor/propeller is pulling the skier, not skier pulling the motor. Hey, I learned to ski behind a 10hp Johnson. Of course I weighed about 50 pounds back then.
